Every breeze blows in the rumor that
gas has been struck at Brightwood. II
was briskly reported on change to-day
that gas had been found either at Seventh
street or at Brightwood sure. The borers
are so certain that they are about to
reach gas that the origin of the rumors
are easily traceable. At Brightwood the
we'll is down about $50 feet, and the Tren-
ton rock Is supposed to be not further
than fifty or hundred feet away.
George R. Root says gas will be piped to
Indianapolis from Anderson If II is not
found here. But he lie certain that IL will
be found here. So are others. Real es-
tate is being taken out of the market in
some instances by owners, confident that
values will appreciate when (if) gas is
found.

q Against I8.

Several physicians have pronounced my
disease blood poison, caused by paint or
lead in the paint, but they could not cure
me. Last Summer I used eighteen bot.
ties of largely advertised blood medi-
cine, which did me no more good than so
much water.
have used only two bottles of B. B. B.
and am proud to say that have received
greater benefit from them than from the
eighteen, and am now rapidly recovering.
There is no question about the superiori-
ty of B. B. B. over all blood remedies.

Cousin.

am first cousin of the late Ex-Gover.
nor Alexander H. Stephens, and have
been postal clerk on different railroads
since 1868. For ten years I have been q
sufferer from cancer on my face, which
grew worse until the discharge of matter
became profuse and very offensive. be.
came thoroughly Disguised with blood
purifiers and pronounced them humbugs,
as had tried many without relief.
Finally I was induced to use B. B. B.,
which was about the LIST of February, and
continued its use until the latter part of
April. The offensive discharge decreased
at once and the hardness around the can.
Ger disappeared. It improved my gener-
al health and rapidly gained flesh and
strength. The discharge gradually de-
creased and the cancer became less and
less in size until nothing remains except
scar to tell the tale of a once dangerous
cancer. All who have seen me since I
have commenced the use of B. B. B. bear
testimony of my great improvement, and
the scar on my face shows that It cured
the cancer. I find that B. B. B. comes
squarely up to what it is recommended
and I cannot say too much in praise of
this wonderful medicine. Ihave tried them
all, but B. B. B. stands at the top as
blood purifier.

sapping the foundation of his cOnstitu-

Indianapolis Letter.

INDIANAPOLIS, April 20, 1887.
Editor Roundabout:
Enclosed please find gas well
clippings from Saturday, Monday
and Tuesdays News, and a con-
densed statement from Mr..
Thompson. State Geologist. You
will pardon me for writing so
often, but it is important that
Frankfort gets her first wells located
over gas. Since Mr.. Us paper was
written, gas has been discovered
in small quantities at Shelbyville,
Nashville and Aurora, and our
Brighten we'll abandoned, showing
a trace Of oil but no gas. 1t is
quite difficult to get the real
gas experts to talk to a stranger !;
it is only the we'll drivers that
talk.
1t is moderately certain that
Indianapolis is in a flat, undis.
turbed stratum, and that We have
no gas nearer than six to twelve
miles. Noblesville, with its jumbo
we'll, is only FL miles off to the
north; and Pendleton with its we'll
only IS miles east. 1t is for Mr..
Proctor to investigate the point
and determine whether it is not
best to bore on the hill tops in
stead of the bottoms. Our Indian
apolis experience proves that there
are greater reasons to expect gas
from a hill top; say from the
Arsenal or Mr.. J. L. SCOTS resi-
dence, than from Craw, or the
prison, or the Gas.house; in fact,
does not the Brislan we'll prove it.
Only submit this point to Mr..
Proctor and the resident incorpor-
ators, and l will not bother you
again. Very respectfully,
w. r. WATSON.
